All change at The Haybarn Inn, Limefitt Park for 2010

nfrodsham — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 22:57:35 +0000

Limefitt Park nr Windermere in the Heart of the Lake District is all change for 2010 – not only is the park no longer accepting touring caravans or campers this year for the first time, they have also refurbished the site pub, the Haybarn Inn, and have really brought it into the 21st century. I hardly recognised the place when I walked in & am suitably impressed at the changes made – a log fire has been placed in a cosy corner, proper bar tables and stools have been placed by the bar and along with the sofas and beautifully upholstered dining chairs it has made a real change to whole ambience. Coupled with a nice & friendly management team this is a great improvement to the facilities at Limefitt Park – try it for yourself and let me know what you think – others have assured me the food is good & they serve a nice pint! What more can you ask for at the end of a day exploring the Lake District! It’s only a 4 minute walk from Tree Top Lodge our lake district lodge & although the log cabin is self catering accomodation, it’s always nice to have a night off (or 2) from the cooking! And dogs are welcome so all you dog lovers don’t have to miss out! There is also a beer garden with wonderful views over Wansfell & Troutbeck. Whether you’re having a full week, a midweek break or a long weekend break at Tree Top Lodge don’t miss out on a visit to the Haybarn!

The Mint Festival at Kendal, Cumbria

nfrodsham — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:18:42 +0000

Whilst up for the weekend we happened across the Mint Festival in Kendal,Cumbria (only a 15-20 minute drive from both Calgarth and Tree Top Lodge) – and what a giggle!! There were street entertainers galore, who either set up in the actual High Street in Kendal or did a type of travelling minstrel routine!! Ones which stick in the memory are the bloke playing and cycling a piano at the same time (yes really!) with his singing cycling partner – and the giant ‘jocks’ out with their giant dog – who scared a number of bystanders by chasing them up the street, weeing on anybody not paying attention and nicking a sandwich out of the bakers! So funny – you had to be there! Unfortunately we didn’t stay to see the fire displays as it was a bit late for the young uns – but I bet it was good!! A real credit to the Lake District Tourist Board or Cumbrian Council or whoever it was who organised it!!
